    Columbia- Andre Greipel and Mark Renshaw are both superb sprinters in their own right.
    Which one is going to be the lead-out man though? WIll Aussie Renshaw be allowed to win stages of his home tour, or will he have to lead out Greipel?

    I was going to post that too. I reckon Renshaw deserves a shot at the first sprint stage, and if he doesn't pull it off, back to Greipel.

    Or Renshaw could do the EBH trick of leading out Griepel and riding him off his wheel.

    Reasonably strong team.

    41. GREIPEL Andre GER

    44. RENSHAW Mark AUS
    45. SIEBERG Marcel GER

    Favourites? They appear to be strongest team, plenty of sprinting options and it is by most peoples standards a sprinters race.
    Take care of the luxuries and the necessites will take care of themselves.
